A cheque is valid for six months, and if its undated, it means you could write a date in it yourself and then just bank it. Chances are that if he isn't answering your emails and calls, then the cheque won't go through anyway, but if the only reason is that it is undated, then write a date in it and put it in the bank.
Just a quick tip.
If the bank its drawn on is not far away from where you live, then travel to that bank, and pay it in to your own account from there - if its for a reasonable sum of money, pay for it to go on 'Special Clearance'. This means that, at the bank counter, his bank have to either reject the cheque or accept it for payment to your account. If it isn't going to go through, they will give you your 'Special Clearance' fee back and not accept the paying in slip, - saves you the cost of an unpaid cheque going through your own bank !
Good Luck
